Chapter 2685

“My guests, follow me. The Blade Sect’s Leader arranged for James to stay in the Blade Sect for the

time being.

The Blade Sect treated the three like honored guests and arranged an independent courtyard for them.

The trio gathered in the yard.

Walganus asked, “Do you think the Blade Sect’s Grand Patriarch will hand over the Crepe Myrtle

Divine Sword?”

James shook his head and said, “I don’t know.”

Yanina said, “I don’t think he will.”

Walganus looked at her and asked, “Why do you say so?”

Yanina explained, “The Blade Sect’s Grand Patriarch achieved such high cultivation rank and was able

to create the Blade Sect because he obtained the Crepe Myrtle

Divine Sword. Moreover, his swordsmanship came from the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword. Why would he

hand over such a great sword? Even if it would affect the whole world, it has nothing to do with him. He

can continue staying on this island where divine objects allow him to be immune to the curse. To him,

there’s no need to worry about a limited lifespan.”

Walganus nodded slightly, agreeing with Yanina’s words. He would refuse to hand over the sword if it

were him.

James said, “Let’s not rush it. We’ll see how it goes when the Blade Sect’s Grand Patriarch shows up.

If he refuses to give it up, we’ll devise another plan.”

Walganus looked at James’ ring on his finger and said smilingly, “Don’t you have a spatial treasure,

James? There should be some powerhouses inside there, right?”

James looked at Walganus but did not reply.

Walganus smiled and said, “I think what we’re doing right now is a waste of time. Just get the

powerhouse in your Celestial Abode to snatch the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword forcibly. It’ll save us a lot

of time and effort.”

James leaned on his chair and did not immediately answer Walganus.

After a while, he said, “Let’s wait a bit more and decide after seeing the Blade Sect’s Grand Patriarch.”

At that moment, the Blade Sect’s Leader had already gone deep into the back mountain, which was a

forbidden area.

Countless divine swords were inserted into an open field, and each of them emanated powerful Sword

Intent.

There were about tens of thousands of swords in the area.

An old man sat in the center among the countless swords. The old man wore a gray robe. He was

slightly chubby and had a fierce look on his face.

“Grand Patriarch.”

The Blade Sect’s Elder appeared outside the Sword Formation and knelt on one knee.

Swoosh!

The old man in the gray robe flashed in front of Yash.

He glared at Yash with dissatisfaction and said, “Didn’t I tell you not to disturb me when I’m in seclusion

if there isn’t anything serious?”

“Grand Patriarch, we have visitors from Sangria.”

Yash knelt on the ground and lowered his head.

Although he was the Blade Sect’s Leader with great authority, he behaved incredibly humbly in the

Grand Patriarch’s presence.

‘They’re from Sangria’s Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion and claim to be here to find the Crepe Myrtle

Divine Sword.”

“Oh?”

The old man’s eyes beamed with light.

Yash continued to explain James’ purpose for visiting them and the function of the Crepe Myrtle Divine

Sword.

“Alright, I see. I’ll go and meet him in person.”

The old man gently waved his hand. He acquired the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword countless years ago

from Sangria’s Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion.

It was a Divine Sword that contained numerous sword techniques. After obtaining the Crepe Myrtle

Divine Sword, he worked hard to comprehend its swordsmanship. All he had achieved today was

because of the sword.

However, he had no idea the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword was related to the world’s curse.

The old man murmured, “I never expected the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword to have such a great

purpose. I miscalculated it. Was there another sword inheritance in the Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion?

Could it be much stronger than what’s recorded in the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword?”

The Blade Sect’s Grand Patriarch had other plans in mind.
